Please don't make full payment before you get the VIN number and allocation in written from either dealer or Ford..

Like they are stuck for full payment, I am also stuck to resist the same by asking them to ask for full payment in written.They are refusing me to give allocation letter. They are clearly refusing to give anything in written and are just saying trust us we will deliver your car. Trusting dealer is a far thing even when ford India gave me a letter stating delivery of my previous model to be before FEB end and now on phone they are saying not before April 2014.

Also according to my dealer Harpreet ford- Moti nagar, he says I have to first pay them full payment then they will convey this to ford India and then my car will be dispatched from their factory. After the car is dispatched they will give me the VIN number and time frame from payment to delivery is 15-25 days.

This is the 'cheapest' excuse these guys are using now a days. Please do not make any payment till the time you get hold of VIN allocated to you.

I'd also suggest you to check with V GO Ford, Faridabad once for ES. Till november last year, they had good inventory. Don't know the current status however V GO gave me ES trend within 2 and half months of booking. Though it involves follow up as well but I followed up with them like once every fortnight.

Received a mail from my dealer stating that my vehicle is expected in the month of Feb and I should start the payment formalities,the earlier letter I received from Ford India mentioned that I should be getting my vehicle before the end of march 2014 so it seems like everything's on track.Also received a call from Ford Chennai today stating the same and as member abhi2902 pointed out earlier,Ford will be offering free 3rd year extended warranty and RSA worth around 6k absolutely free with the vehicle.This would bring the effective hike for my variant in the range of 17k.

I also got my allocation letter today from harpreet ford. They didn't send me an email and the agent apologized and said he can only provide me hard copy of letter.
I have changed my model from 1.5P tit to 1.5D tit. Not sure if I will get those benefits which i pointed earlier as I have changed the model.

The deliberate bit was kidding. But yeah, that red color occasionally brings life whenever seatbelt is not fastened by mistake..
I have already done upholstery with gSport (the super boring Matching grey. But it adds lot of light and air to cabin).
I am planning to put a colored film over Sync Screen (the one we put around bulbs) to convert it to something like Fiesta Red. I know the blue and red will at-least make it appear purple.

Go for a screen (DVD and navigation) . Install it on the dash , buy a pendrive with indicator. Get a ionizer or a good charger with LED . Have u installed interior ambient lights,if yes, You can have a different coloured set of bulbs. Or may be you can buy a VOLVO , it comes with changeable themes.

@ abhi : He is misleading you. If you haven't , then talk to CUST care, they even might mail you in this concern . In my case , I was in touch wit CUST care. For the fist time I went to the dealer ( four months after booking ) and asked him for an early allotment. He easily agreed and asked me to deposit the full amount and take the car within next 20 days ( as per my requirement ) . I asked HIM to arrange for the loan FROM SBI which he happily did and it took him 12 days to do it , so I paid him once I got the loan and waited for 3 more days to get the delivery, which was just OK. In the mean time (loan approval) I got the VIN from chennai and was confirmed the allocation. You can PM me your number , if you need any help.

FYI , I have T(-) D , and got it 1.5 months earlier than my due date .
